<p>Hi, I go to SMC currently, and am planning to transfer to a UC as a junior. My major is sociology. I will be applying this fall, with a GPA of 2.87. I will have completed all my major pre-req courses and IGETC courses by next spring. Can you give me a percentage of my chances of getting into UCSD, UCI, and UCSB? Thanks.</p>
<p>how do feel about the city of Riverside?</p>
<p>you need an overall 3.0 gpa to be even considered as a uc transfer.</p>
<p>UCR - UCM - UCSC - UCI (poss.). Since sociology is an easier major usally the GPAs are pretty high.</p>
<p>How come there’s so much misinformation on the transfer forum?</p>
<p>* you need an overall 3.0 gpa to be even considered as a uc transfer. *</p>
<p>No you don’t, the minimum GPA is 2.4 (2.8 for nonresidents). Also, wasn’t UCIs TAG in Fall 2009 a 2.8 GPA for the College of Humanities? That means the OP would have a 100% shot assuming he met the TAG requirements.</p>
<p>Absolutely right. In fact, I have a friend who signed a TAG agreement with UCI for Fall2009 with a 2.7 GPA (psychology major). but can anyone give me some advise on winter admissions for 2010 at UCR as a psychology major? what are the chances of one getting accepted with like a 2.5 or 2.6?</p>
<p>I hope you already applied, RS20, because the applications were due July 21st for winter 2010.</p>
<p>yeah ive applied already, im trying to get some honest opinions here so i kind of know what to expect</p>
<p>^Responding to your private message, you can run a StatFinder query to figure out the average GPA of transfers for that field:</p>

<p>I’m at work now otherwise I’d go through the steps myself :p</p>
<p>no problem, thanks for the link.</p>
<p>Ur screwed, don’t even try. If you have a 2.8 at a CC then ur best bet is a calstate, cuz that’s a bigger CC for you to fail in.</p>
<p>Thanks for your encouraging words, and no Im not screwed becuase CC wasn’t hard for me. The reason I have such a low gpa is because I got a lot C’s my first year of college. I changed my major the second year and got couple more c’s. However, I finished up off strong, and im sure even you know that it becomes harder to raise your gpa once you approach 50-60 units (unless you take more classes and get 4.0). Also, I never retook two D’s from my previous major that I never retook.</p>
<p>Sorry sorry, my cousin posted with my account. Umm, I wouldn’t say you’re screwed, but you’re GPA will not wow UC admissions unless you have a proper excuse for why you messed up in those classes. Just because the classes “weren’t in your major”, does not suffice as a proper argument in why you did so poorly. I hope that helps.</p>
<p>maybe retake the Ds anyways? Retake at least one this fall. It will boost your gpa. Try to get AT LEAST a 3.0. And revel is right. Have a good reason. Then take a deep breath and accept the possibility of Riverside, and DO apply to some cal states just in case. Good luck.</p>
